Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

This military bunker is located in the Alsace region of northeastern France, near the city of Strasbourg and close to the Rhine River. The coordinates place it within the historic sector of the Maginot Line, the extensive French defensive fortification system constructed in the years leading up to World War II. The structure is part of the larger network of concrete fortifications designed to prevent invasion from Germany, embodying the interwar military strategy of static defense.

Architecturally, the bunker exemplifies the Réglebau standardised design principles used throughout the Maginot Line. These fortifications were almost entirely underground, featuring thick reinforced concrete ceilings and walls to withstand heavy artillery and aerial bombardment. The design included living quarters, command posts, and defensive positions, all integrated into the landscape to provide mutual support along the frontier.

During the German occupation of France in WWII, many Maginot Line positions were either bypassed, captured, or repurposed by German forces. This particular bunker's specific operational history during the war is not detailed in the available sources. Today, the site stands as a relic of 20th-century military engineering. Its current condition—whether preserved as a historical monument, accessible for exploration, or in a state of decay—is not specified, but such structures are common subjects for military heritage and urban exploration (urbex) across France.
